HUMOR: You know you play CoH/V too much when,....

...you turn 32 and think it's time you finally got a pet.

...you hear someone refer to Superman as "the defender of truth, justice and the American way" and your first impulse is to correct them: "No, he's the tanker of truth, justice and the American way".

...you honestly think you can outrun cars on the street.

...you make your monthly budget, and the very first expense you consider is that 15 bucks.

Your pet project jotting down notes for your and your supergroup's reference grows a mind of its own and gets over 3 million page loads a month.

Fine... since it won't die I may as well help it live...

* You hear someone mention the plural of a certain naughty bit and immediately think they're a fellow player.

* You hear a WWII story of how the Germans stormed the front line riding tanks and wonder if they were on their shoulders or piggy-back.

* You read a newspaper article about something called a Public Defender and think he must get on ALL the PUGs.

* You take a vacation to New York City and, upon seeing the Statue of Liberty, your first thought is "Pffft... Only ONE?"

* You start referring to your teen-age son's room as Boomtown.

* When your wife mentions your next Anniversary and asks what you'd like to do during it you answer "Play, of course!" before realizing she meant Wedding Anniversary.

* When the Groundhog sees its shadow you think "awesome! One more month of the Winter Event!"

* You go to see your brand new nephew in the hospital, and upon seeing how homely he is, immediately start setting traps for Snaptooth.

* Your wife starts killing her own spiders because she's tired of you screaming "We shall thwart thee Lord Recluse!" and attempting to organize the family into a task force.

* They turn your electricity off after your fourth attempt to pay the bill with influence.

* At your divorce hearing you tell the judge "I was a vigilante when I did that, but I'm back to being full hero... I swear! Check my info window!"

* At your divorce hearing you tell the judge "Ignored her for four years? Listen man, I saved the world 1,394 times during those four years! Don't you think that makes her complaints just a LITTLE on the selfish side?"

* You can make a list of jokes about CoH/V on just about any subject... practically at will... in your sleep... with your frontal lobe tied behind your back.

* You don't remember important personal or family history by dates anymore. "Yeah, he was a great baby. We had him around Issue 10. Tell ya, man, if he was crying I could hold him in my arms while I played. One Rikti Invasion was enough to put him right back to sleep."

* Your kids want to go trick or treating but you won't let them go until you make sure the kids they're going with have the right ATs for survivability.

* Your eight year old son wants to go trick or treating as Batman this year and you punish him by making him wear a blue unitard with "GENERIC 0005461265" on the chest.

* During the long time period between the end of the Spring Event and the beginning of the Halloween Event you refuse to acknowledge any holidays... even the one with the fireworks.

* Your wife managed to get you to watch the first few episodes of Lost with her but eventually stopped insisting due to your constant screams of "Nemesis! It's so OBVIOUS!"

* In the middle of the night you have woken up cuddled next to your television set muttering "one mission... c'mon.. just one mission. I always liked you more than Radio..."

* You don't surf for pron on the internet anymore.. but you DO spend a lot of time in the costume creator.

* You use a cable modem, which means it's a shared resource with your neighbors so will slow down when they're all on the net... you read the notice about double xp weekend.. and the day of the event the front page of the paper reads "Mass Modem Heist Puzzles Neighborhood!"

* You wrote a fanfic about you at a pottery wheel with Ghost Widow standing behind you.

* When your wife gets pregnant she spends an entire day on Paragon Wiki getting all the names of characters from the game to make a list to compare your "suggestions" against.

* You adopt two cats and name them Stefan and Marcus. You're very disappointed when they get along just fine.

...you See the driveway that needs to be shoveld and you wish you had blazing aura

You start fantasizing about being a developer.

yeah but have you ever tried to control Imps? I'd rather just stand there with Blazing aura then try to get Imps to do what I want them to do

When you kneel down to rest and then you can't rest again for awhile because of the long cooldown period.

...you are out with your friends and you think about what cool Supergroup names you and your buds can form.

...when you consider your job just a place for you to farm for money...5 days a week...for 8 hours straight...

...when you enter in an elevator with people and before going up in levels you tell everyone, "perma grats to you all."

You meet new people and ask them " Whats your Global?"

You receive a text from your spouse inquiring where you are and you respond, "OMW".

... when unable to resist the urge to look for Clockwork cogs when driving past a power substation ...

... when getting new ideas to try in the costume creator while watching childhood cartoons from decades ago ...

... when your idea of winding down is an extra hour browsing the CoH forums ...

You go to put a cup down on a table and miss due to the lack of accuracy

1. All the AV's are Yellow

2. You have collected every issuse of both runs of the City of Hero Comic.

3. Your friends are sick of you explaining your City Character beat their favorite Comic book character. ( "Wait who's Kid Kaos and how can he beat Franklin Richards?!")

4. "Whats WoW?"

5. You have a shrine for every Community Rep thats come and gone.

...you are excited to buy the soundtrack for Batman: Under the Red Hood for the extremely cool background music you play while running your character, over buying the latest awesome rock music MP3s from Amazon.com (sorry, Aerosmith...).

You see a red frame around people who annoy you.

Your next character is inspired from a bottle of FlowMax.
